"The World’s Hatred“If the world hates you, be aware that it hated me first."
— John 15:18, NET Bible
“If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.”
“If the world hateth you, ye know that it hath hated me before it hated you. ”
“If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.”
“If the world hate you, know ye that it hath hated me before you.”
“If you are hated by the world, keep in mind that I was hated by the world before you.”
“If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.”
I no longer call you slaves, because the slave does not understand what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because I have revealed to you everything I heard from my Father.
You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that remains, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you.
This I command you– to love one another.
The World’s Hatred“If the world hates you, be aware that it hated me first.
If you belonged to the world, the world would love you as its own. However, because you do not belong to the world, but I chose you out of the world, for this reason the world hates you.
Remember what I told you,‘A slave is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they obeyed my word, they will obey yours too.
But they will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they do not know the one who sent me.
